Hi folks...
I am giving Outlook a second chance. One feature of Thunderbird and Netscape
that I really like is the Local Folders. Is there a similar method in Outlook
to have all my files (emails and address books, for example) in a folder tree
in My Documents? I don't need the program files nor preferences. just the
files that would be hard/impossible to replace.
Thanks in advance for any tips.
John

You can store your mail in a local PST file. The items aren't visible
outside of Outlook but they are stored locally

Thank you Vince...
Can you tell me how exactly to set this up? I would like to save them in a
folder in My Documents
Thanks

First question is... where is Outlook storing your mail now?

That is a good question... in the default location, I think. I *may* have
changed the installation folder to "Office XP" to distinguish it from my
Offce 2000 installation.

Click FIle>Data File Management and look where your PST resides.  The
installation location for Outlook itself has no bearing on that.
